Lyrics

Joy

[Verse 1]

My hands are in the air and I'm running as fast as I can

I knew this day would come and we would be free

Come and hold hands lets stick together

Take a big leap and jump right over

[Chorus]

We feel Joy

We feel Joy

Nothing really matters we've got everything we need

Take a big leap we will feel joy

[Verse 2]

When the wave hits there's nothing that we're gonna do

Make piece with yourself and take a little breath or two

Come and hold hands lets stick together

Take a big leap and jump right over

[Chorus 2]

We feel joy

We feel joy

Nothing really matters we've got everything we need

Take a big leap, we will feel joy

We will feel joy

Joy

We will feel joy

Nothing really matters we've got everything we need

Take a big leap, we will feel joy

[Chorus 3]

Nothing really matters we've got everything we need

Take a big leap and we will feel joy

Joy

We feel joy

We will feel joy

Nothing really matters we've got everything we need

Take a big leap and we will feel joy
